Lexington mayoral candidates debate hot topics ahead of May primary election

LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Four Lexington mayoral candidates shared a stage to discuss the city's housing crisis, public safety, and winter weather response as incumbent Mayor Linda Gorton seeks her third term.

The candidates debated the city's approach to the housing shortage. Real estate expert Raquel Carter criticized Gorton's record on the issue.

"We are over 22,000 housing units behind," Carter said.

Gorton defended her administration's efforts.
